What would you share with prospective students who are considering attending CUAA?
“CUAA has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. From the moment I got out of my car for a tour, everyone here was welcoming, friendly, and made me feel like I could call CUAA home. The atmosphere, due to everyone here, was much different than the other colleges I visited. Even though I am from Wisconsin, I feel like I am going home every time I go back to campus. I can not imagine myself anywhere else! The faculty and staff here are amazing. They all care about you and your growth, both spiritually and academically! CUAA is my home and I hope others can call it home too!”
Any final words?
“I would have never imagined this and I am so blessed and thankful to be nominated for this! I just want to say a quick to thanks to all of my professors, all faculty and staff, and my parents and family who have supported and encouraged me through all things. I could not be here at CUAA without all of the support and encouragement that I have received from everyone.”
